Book Description
Excerpt from The Dictionary of Entomology In view of the necessity in Entomology of the acceptance of a universal code of terms to differentiate or describe the parts or characteristics of insects, and owing to the absence of such a work, I have, through the courtesy of the authorities of the British Museum (Natural History), availed myself of the use of their extensive library to compile this book. I also have to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor F. V. Theobald for reading the proof-sheets, and for his valuable advice; to Mr. Grahan for the great interest he has taken in this publication; and to Miss E. H. Clemetson, Assoc. Inst. of Linguists, for revising the derivations. I shall be happy to be notified of any omissions in this, the first edition, in order to render future issues more complete.

Excerpt from Explanation of Terms Used in Entomology It would be interesting to go at length into the history of the correspond ence to determine what sort of terms should or should not be included and to bring out the hopeless divergencies existing; but all that is important here is to state briefly what has been included and what omitted.

Book Description
"This book is a comprehensive, fully cross-referenced collection of over 28,000 terms, names and phrases used in entomology, incorporating an estimated 43,000 definitions. It is the only listing which covers insect anatomy, behaviour, biology, ecology, histology, molecular biology, morphology, pest management, taxonomy and systematics. The origin, etymology, part of speech and definition of each term and phrase are all provided, including the language, meaning or root of each term and constituent parts. Where meanings have changed, or terms have been borrowed from other disciplines, the most current usage is indicated. The common names of insects, their scientific binomen and taxonomic classification are provided, with diagnoses of pest species in many cases. All insect order, suborder, superfamily, family and subfamily names are given, together with the diagnostic features of orders and families. Names of deceased entomologists, or scientists from other fields who have contributed to entomology are included, with the citation for their biography or obituary. The list of names is global, including entomologists from Asia, whose research has often been neglected by western scientists. This book is an essential reference source for all professionals and students of entomology and related disciplines."--p. [4] of cover.

Excerpt from American Entomology, or Descriptions of the Insects of North America: Illustrated by Coloured Figures From Drawings Executed From Nature Hitherto the American insects have been col looted and sent to England, France, and Germa ny, by intelligent foreigners resident amongst us. These were described by their entomologists, figur ed and published in their various works, and through that medium were familiarised to the know ledge of the scientific in those countries. In short.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Textbook of Medical Entomology I have watched this book through all its stages and I know perhaps better than any one else the enormous labour that has been entailed by its preparation. It covers an immense and in many places untrodden field it is moreover thoroughly practical and the greatest care has been taken in the description of technique. For both these reasons it will be extremely useful to all workers in Medical Entomology, and I trust that it will meet with the success which it undoubtedly deserves. With these few remarks I leave the book to speak for itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
